Commentary

That'll be all from the fifth and final one-dayer. It was a long wait for India to get their first win of the tour but it finally came today. Thank you so much for tuning in but do ensure to keep yourselves up to date with all the other cricketing news and action from around the globe right here on Sportskeeda. This is Raghav Tikmany alongside Pradeep signing off!

Sophie Devine (New Zealand captain): Disappointing. We were 10-15 runs short, and we were let down in the field. We put down a total of 4-5 chances. The girls have been working really hard, but there are a few little details that need to be addressed. When given the chance, everyone has risen to the occasion. We're in a great position heading into the World Cup. We are accustomed to the circumstances and are excited to compete in a World Cup. We know the players have always been capable of doing so. Amelia has been outstanding the entire time, and we have missed her when she has not been around. We need to look at our team before our first game against the West Indies because of a few niggles. It's another chance to cross the border and help the country. The weather was perfect today. We love playing here in Queenstown, it is an amazing venue. The groundstaff have done a tremendous job throughout the series.

Mithali Raj (India captain): We've improved in the last four games, which is encouraging heading into the World Cup. Prior to the big competition, it is critical to have the proper preparation. Preparing for the World Cup by getting games here was a smart idea. Despite the fact that the wickets appeared to be batting-friendly, the bowlers performed admirably today. Our main focus will be on excelling in all three departments. When I retire, I'll discover that the team is significantly more powerful than it appears. I've had a great time here taking a tour of this lovely town.

Amelia Kerr is the Player of the Series.

Amelia Kerr: I'm delighted to be in Queenstown. It's all about maintaining this form into the World Cup for me. We're on the right track as a squad, and we have a lot of confidence - I believe we haven't fielded as well as we could have in this series, and if we had, we could have saved 20-30 runs.

Smriti Mandhana has been adjudged the Player of the match for her splendid inning up top to set up the tone for the chase!

Smriti Mandhana: I think our bowlers did a splendid job, bowling good lines and lengths, that helped to restrict them to 250. The wicket was good to bat, all the batting unit contributed, myself, Raj and Kaur did well. The first few overs it was difficult but then I spent time in the middle and was able to see the ball well and hit them, I'm happy that I found my groove in this game. Definitely will help going into the World Cup, this series was good opportunity for us to get used to the conditions, turned out to be the advantage ahead of the World Cup, half of the side is still here that played the 2019 WC, so, that's a big boost for us. We've had quite a few close games, girls contributed and we're confident about going into the World Cup, we all will cherish this win and take the momentum into the World Cup.

India 255/4 in 46 overs ( Smriti Mandhana 71 (84), Harmanpreet Kaur 63 (66), Mithali Raj 57 (66)* beat New Zealand by 6 wickets.

What a win, what a win for India! After being asked to field first, they did a great job in restricting the White Ferns for 251 and then chasing it down with four overs to spare. They have avoided a whitewash and this victory will give them some confidence ahead of the World Cup, even though they have lost the series.

Chasing 252, India would have started off as the favourites, considering the pitch and conditions. On a rather dry wicket, Indian batters were likely to do well. They got off to a great start in the powerplay, much due to the poor new ball bowling along with some quality batting from Mandhana. Both Verma and Deepti chipped in to contribute alongside Smriti.

Once Deepti was out, Harmanpreet came out with all guns firing and made sure Smriti did not put herself under pressure. Mandhana, Kaur and Raj all three got to their individual half-centuries and got their side over the line.

As far as New Zealand are concerned, their bowlers were decent but it was the fielding that let them down. Four catches going down in an ODI is a travesty. Their focus will be on this department ahead of the World Cup.

Driven through the covers and India win the fifth and final ODI of the series by 6 wickets!

45.6 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, FOUR! That's it, India win this final ODI and avoid the white wash. Good length delivery, floated it on the outside off, Raj skips down the track and creams it through the extra-cover region, runs away and picks out the ropes! Plenty of positives for India with this win ahead of the WC!

45.5 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, OH! Loops a yorker into Raj on the middle and leg, gets behind to dig it out on the on-side.

45.4 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, good length delivery on the leg-stump line, Raj looks to sweep, gets a tickle down to fine-leg and they decide to settle for a brace.

50 up for Mithali Raj now! Great knock from the skipper, she has ensured that the momentum built by Harmanpreet and Smriti is not blown away.

45.3 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, FOUR MORE! Raj brings up her FIFTY with that boundary. Drops it short on the middle and leg, swivels and pulls it over backward square-leg, runs away for another boundary! 3 needed now!

45.2 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, FOUR! Length delivery on the off-stump, Raj skips down the track and hammers it past Ghosh who sways away, races down to long-on in the end for a boundary! Just 7 needed now!

45.1 Frances Mackay to Mithali Raj, OH! Good length on the middle and off, Raj looks to sweep that one, gets a top edge, runs down to fine-leg, the fielder in pursuit pulls it back as they scamper back for the brace.

Mithali Raj is just comfortably walking through the run chase at the moment. India do not have much to worry about now with only 13 runs needing off the last five overs.

44.6 Hannah Rowe to Mithali Raj, back of a length on the outside off, Raj cuts it away, goes in the air past cover region and picks up a single.

44.6 Hannah Rowe to Mithali Raj, WIDE! Short delivery, angles it down the leg-side and Rowe has to reload that one!

44.5 Hannah Rowe to Richa Ghosh, short on the off-stump, bangs it into the track and Ghosh hops on her toes, gets on top of the bounce, pulls it into the turf past square-leg for an easy single.
